Blood is not PURPLE!

***THIS IS A RANTING OTAKU PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT/EXPLOSION***
Please, for the love of God, stop turning the blood purple on dubbed anime. Especially not when the scene as a whole is already violent. You'll show Naraku exploding from the skull of a bird demon and slicing off her head, you'll show the neck hole (which looks awfully genital to me) and the blood pouring out into a river, but god forbid it be red. Little Johnny's mother might just claim you traumitized him...
This makes no sense, really. At least not as a fan. Yes, I know, they're trying to sell as many copies as they can and ignorant suburban housewives will buy the kid anything in style, but PLEASE. Anime is not now, nor has it ever been, for little kids. At least not all of it. You want kid anime? Try things like Magical Meow Meow Taruto and Hamtaro, not freaking InuYasha and Naruto! Even Pokemon was not that childish in the original! And don't even start me on what they did to Sailor Moon. (Gender bending, relationship altering and general "dumbing down" just to name a few). What's worse are these mother's that show up at CONVENTIONS (for God's sake) and just drop the little terrors off. Lady, we are NOT babysitting. There aren't going to be streams of other moms to watch him, there are just going to be a lot of pissed off teens and adults who want to send your kid to Chuck E. Cheese so they can enjoy the event they spent all that money on.
Worse, however, are the mother's who come in and want to run the show. No, the Chii cosplayer is not going to put more clothes on and NO the blood covered guy is not going to go wash it off. If your kid is not mature enough to handle this, take him home! And quit with this ignorant notion that anime is just "weird Japanese cartoons" and that we need to "grow up". You have no clue, you've never truly watched or read one, and you lead to trouble for real fans. It's people like you that cause some places to ban crossplaying. You also force us to hold panels of any mature subjects late at night and at the far end of the hotel with the doors barred so your kids don't overhear that "filthy" stuff. Costumes get restricted, not because of common decency but because your "angel" saw a "breast" and now he's going to be a "deviant".
And one last thing, I will NOT leave Barnes & Noble because of what I'm reading. You have no business glaring at what I'm reading and asking me to put it away because your child is present. I DON'T GIVE A S%*#! If your kid wasn't bothering me (because he saw the cover of a manga and being a whatever-is-hip-now-fan ran over to interrogate and pester me), he wouldn't have seen those two gorgeous men kissing or seen me drawing the decapitation scene in my next chapter. So be a parent, learn what your kid is interested in and stop pushing for this castrated garbage. Air-brushed out guns and cigarettes look stupid, ninja women do not wear nun's habits, Zoicite is not a woman, Haruka and Michiru are not "cousins" and blood is not purple, black, green or whatever other stupid color they thought would trick you into calling these shows "kid-safe".
***THIS HAS BEEN AN ANNOUNCEMENT FROM MANY ANGRY OTAKU! THANK YOU!***
